While at home with our children, it can be fun to enjoy some time together in the kitchen!! Children often love this far more than we realise and it's a great chance to practice some maths weighing & measuring all the wet and dry goods!
Preparation is key as is relaxing any rules about mess! Let's just have an hour of fun and create something yummy together.
We have kept the recipes below very basic so that people of every level have something to try out! Our final recipe is for those who prefer savory over sweet!!
Happy baking!
(Oh and please do share your creatiions with us!! We would love to see them on our instagram #MillerandKeane or Facebook pages @MillerandKeaneLondon or just email them to chloe@millerandkeane.com
